Jay is recording the score in November. While no release date has been set, I'm hearing they're targeting sometime in 2063 to coincide with the show's 50th anniversary.

Jay Records is notorious for taking several years to release albums they have recorded.

Posted: 10/11/13 at 2:38pmI was so excited to see the Playbill article this morning reporting the recording, then I realized it was Jay Records and went back to bed. I will freely admit I know nothing about the business of making a cast recording, but why does it take Jay Records years to do what Ghostlight and PS Classics do in months?

Posted: 10/11/13 at 4:36pmIt must simply be bad leadership, project management and marketing in my opinion. Jay records is a joke. In the end I imagine it's a pretty unprofitable business so there isn't much motivation for them (him?) to do a good job. But it's just ridiculous. Jay Records isn't very good at releasing records.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Posted: 10/11/13 at 5:23pmKander and Ebb's final Broadway score? Probably. It's extremely rare that a new Broadway musical does not get recorded unless it has a previous original cast recording from the UK.

Yes. And there are other such examples.
The difference seems to be that the producers of a currently running show put up all the money needed to record and release it. The JAY recordings that sit unreleased for decades are the archival studio recordings of classics, which apparently lack the underwriting to see them through to completion and release.

I was referring to Scottsboro Boys.
